Arguement

We went down.''ALEXA!!''sigaw ni Ate Ash na may tuwa at niyakap ako ng mahigpit.''You might wanna loosen your hug or she'll die''sabi ni Nathan. ''Right''sabi ni Ate at tinapik tapik na lang ang likod ko.''Kamusta ka na, nak?''Mommy ask.''Of course I'm fine, Mom''sagot ko.''Mom...?''tawag ko kay Mom.''Yes?''tanong ni Mom.''Can I talk to you and Dad?''I ask back. Nagkatinginan muna sila bago sumagot sa akin.''Sure''sabay nilang sabi.

''Will he be hurt?''tanong ko ng makalayo na kami sa mga tao.''Let's just give him some space,hunny''Mom said and hugged me.I hugged back.''I don't wan't him being hurt''saad ko ng umiiyak na.We heard knock dahilan ng pagkagulat ko at dali dali pinunasan ang luha ko.''Come in'' sabi ni Mom ng makita na niya na okay na ako.

''Dad.Tito Harley and Ti---WOOAAHHH!SIS ARE YOU CRYING?!'' putol ni Kuya.''Who?Me?No.Of course not''sunod sunod kong sagot.''Sis...'' sabi ni Kuya.''Swear''sabi ko sabay tago ng isang kong kamay sa likod at pinag-cross while put the other one on my chest.''Okay..''sabi ni Kuya. ''What are you going to say,anyways?'' I ask.''Oh,right!Tito Harley and Tita Hannah's downstairs.They want to know if Baby A's alright''sabi ni Kuya.

''We'll follow''sabi ni Mom at pinauna si Kuya.''I hope he's fine''sabi ko. Nakapalit na rin pala ako ng damit.I'm wearing a hoodie and jogging pants. ''Is my clothes fine?''I ask.''It's fine don't you worry about it''sabi ni Dad. ''Let's go?''dagdag pa ni Dad.Tumango na lang kami ni Mom at sumunod kay Dad.

''Alexandra,are you okay now?''tanong ni Tita Hannah.''Mom she just passed out not like she got into an accident'' sabi ni Natalie and sighed.Is she fine? ''Nat''tawag ko sa kanya.She looked at me.''I'm fine naman po,Tita''sabi ko. ''Jannine,can we talk for a minute?'' tanong ni Tita Hannah kay Mom. ''Sure''sagot ni Mom.They left us. ''What was that mood for,Natalie?''I ask.

''Bakit?Totoo naman eh''sabi niya.She looks hot.''Are you okay?''tanong ni Kuya in a cold way.''Look at Alex.He's cold suddenly.It's not like something's gonna happen''sabi ni Nat.Nagulat naman ako sa sunod na ginawa ni Kuya.''KUYA A!/ALEXANDER!''sabay sabay naming sigaw ni Ash,Nathan, Dad at Tito.

''Don't you ever JUDGE me!''sigaw ni Kuya.At binatawan na ang leeg ni Nat. I went to Nat's place and help her up.
''Breathe''sabi ko.She gasped for air.
''What did we miss?''tanong ni Tita. ''Kami na po hihingi ng sorry sa ginawa ni Kuya,Tito and Tita''sabi ni Ash at sabay kaming nag-bow.''Why? What happened?''tanong ni Tita na walang kaalam alam.''It's fine,kids'' sabi ni Tito.''Thank you for not getting angry at us,Uncle''sabi ko at tumuwid ng tayo.''Excuse for a second po muna''sabi ko at sinundan si Kuya.

I saw him on the balcony sitting at the railings.''Leave''sabi ni Kuya.''We need to talk''sabi ko.Bahala na kung hindi na ako rumerespeto.''We don't have anything to talk''sabi ni Kuya.''Yes we do''sabi ko at sinarado na muna ang pinto.''What do you want?''tanong niya.''Why are you so cold?''balik kong tanong sa kanya.''Wala ka an doon''sabi ni Kuya.

''It is my business!Alam kong nasasaktan ka at makikita mo na siya,Kuya.But please...It's in the past you need to forget about her. Kalimutan mo na siya!Ako ang nahihirapan sayo eh!Hindi sa lahat ng pagkakataon kaya mo ang lahat!Na hindi mo pwedeng kalimutan ang past!Why can't you just forget about her?!There are so many girls out there!They're waiting for you!Just don't f*cking ruin your f*cking life just because of a simple girl!''bulyaw ko sa kanya.

''Diyan.Diyan ka magaling!Hindi mo kasi alam ang pakiramdam na iwan ng tao mong mahal!ALEXANDRA IBA ANG SITWASYON KO!Iba ako sayo!Bakit nararamdaman mo ba ang lahat ng sakit ng dinanas ko?Are you feeling the pain that I've gone through?! P*t*ang*na!Hindi sa lahat ng pagkakataon kailangan mong manermon!Oo iniwan niya ako!Pero hindi iyon dahil hindi niya ako mahal!Kundi dahil bata pa kami nun! Why don't you try to love someone and feel the pain,huh?!''sigaw ni Kuya.

A S H T O N

''Why don't you try to love someone and feel tha pain,huh?''rinig kong sigaw ni Kuya.Oo rinig ko.Hindi lang ako.Kasama ko si Nathan at Natalie.

''Kung alam mo lang na nagsu-suot lang ako ng makaskara!Ang tagal tagal ko ng kikimkim ang sakit!ALAM KO KUNG GAANO KASAKIT!KASAKIT NA IWAN KA NG TAO MONG MAHAL!! Nagpakat*anga ka sa isang taong hinding hindi ka kayang mahalin! Ginawa mo ang lahat sa kanya pero ano?Ano ang ipinalit niya sayo?!'' sigaw ni Alexa habang umiiyak.

Wala namang nasagot si Kuya.

''See?Wala,diba?Wala tama?Wala.Tsk! Pwede ba kung pwede lang,Kuya!LUMAYO KA NA SA NAKARAAN MO! NAGPAPAKAT*NGA KA LANG!NAKAKASAKIT KA!!LALO MO LANG SINASAKTAN ANG MGA TAONG NASA PALIGID MO!EVEN YOURSELF THAT IS GONNA BREAK ONE MORE SECOND YOU THINK OF HER!!!Hindi... Sa...lahat....ng pag....kakataon....kaya mo ang saki---''naputol ang sasabihin ni Alexa ng may narinig kaming tumumba at nanghihina na rin ang boses niya sa huling mga salita. Nagulat naman kami.

Papasok na sana si Nathan ng pigilan ko siya.I looked at him.I signal five, four,three,two and I open the door with a shocked face.''What happened?''tanong ko.

***********

''You'll be going in the Philippines with your twin''sabi ni Mom.Ako lang at sila ni Dad ang nasa bahay ngayon. Since...Ate Ashley and Natalie ay kasama mag-shopping si Alexa.''Is brother coming?''I ask.''No...she needs to handle something here''sabi naman ni Mom.''Is it really something or you don't want him to get hurt?''I ask again.''Silly you!''rinig naming sabi ni Ate Ash kay Alexa kaya napahinto kami sa pag-uusap.Napahinto naman sila ng makita nila kami.''Did we ruin something?''tanong ni Alexa.''No''sabi ni Dad.

''By the way,Mom...when are we going to the Philippines?''tanong ni Alexa. ''Tomorrow''sabi ni Mom.''Yeeeyy!!'' sabi ni Alexa.Tuwang tuwa siya.Tila ba na wala silang pinag-usapan ni Kuya nung nakaraan lang.Ilang araw na ring hindi nag-uusap at nagpapansinan silang dalawa.''How about instead of standing here we help you pack?''tanong ni Ate Ash. ''Sorry but I can't help.Mom needs me home''sabi ni Natalie.

''No worries''sabi ni Alexa.

''Siss!Wake up!''sigaw ni bwiset. ''Bakit?''I ask in a sleepy tone. ''Philippines~~''in a singsong niyang sabi.Nabuhayan naman ako sa sinabi niya.I quickly stood up and hugged him tight.I ran downstairs. ''GOODMORNING''masayang bati ko.

''What's with the mood?''Mom ask. ''Philippines~''sabay na sabi naming magkambal.''Now I know kung bakit kayo magkambal''sabi ni Dad.
